Chapter Index

    A moment of silence.

    “Will this work?” the black woman asked.

    “Are you sure this will work?” another voice from Shen Ye asked.

    “Don’t you understand humans? Their pursuit of treasures will never stop. This is the best way, just wait and see,” Shen Ye said with great certainty.

    “Alright, let’s try it then.”

    The voice vanished.

    It left.

    The black woman also departed.

    Before leaving, she built a giant egg for Shen Ye to rest in.

    Shen Ye stayed for a while.

    The light emanating from the giant egg made him sleepy.

    Eat and sleep, sleep and eat.

    …Is this really the treatment for a larva?

    Shen Ye yawned, just about to ponder his second professional skill, when the surroundings turned into an endless void.

    —The Dharma Realm!

    Waves of powerful fluctuations surged like a tide, coalescing on him and floating above his head.

    “Name” was born!

    “You have gained recognition from the Dharma Realm.”

    “Currently, you have obtained an exclusive Swarm trait:”

    “Bloody warrior.”

    “Purple trait (one in a million).”

    “Description: Your Strength increases by 10 points, Agility by 10 points, and Insight by 10 points.”

    “Evaluation: When the Imperial Species in your dreams possessed you, you fought the Will of the World alongside it, thus mastering the essence of combat, experiencing the grand spectacle of high-level close-quarters battle, and opening all the acupuncture points throughout your body, entering a higher realm of melee combat.”

    “—Your combat has become more bloody and brutal.”

    “—Anyone please interact with you accompanied by a guardian.”

    The upgrade was fast!

    Now, with just one more professional skill, he would reach the second realm of the Dharma Realm.

    Archery…

    Shen Ye was about to summon a Taiyin Godly Arrow when he felt something stir within him.

    The Sect Master’s Treasure Manual?

    He pulled out the Sect Master’s Treasure Manual, and saw rows of large characters appear on the previously blank fourth page:

    “Noticed that your ‘Sudden Rain’ skill has been elevated to the peak, or even surpassed it.”

    “Judging that you have begun to impact the second realm of the Dharma Realm.”

    “Sect disciples have created countless secondary skills, the seven most powerful of which are recorded in the Treasure Manual; you can receive the secret initiation at any time.”

    “How to use:”

    “Simply place the Sect Master’s Treasure Manual on your forehead.”

    Shen Ye was overjoyed.

    One generation plants trees, the next enjoys the shade.

    —This was the advantage of having a sect.

    “Night Wanderer” was just a human profession, which might have been decent in ancient human times, but many people had taken up this profession, and countless secondary professional skills had also been developed.

    The seven most powerful ones were all here.

    He didn’t need to specifically ponder them!

    This wasn’t laziness.

    It was about reserving his energy for the “Lord of No Birth” and “Dark Devourer,” focusing specifically on their skills.

    Right now, learning a “Night Wanderer” skill was to quickly reach the second realm of the Dharma Realm!

    Shen Ye placed the Sect Master’s Treasure Manual on his forehead and slowly comprehended it.

    A full quarter of an hour passed.

    He finally chose one out of the seven skills and began to complete the secret initiation.

    “Purging Raiders.”

    “The second professional skill of ‘Night Wanderer’.”

    “Penetrating Arrows, Tracking Arrows, Long-Range Shooting Secrets.”

    “Description: Guided by the enemy’s aura, it penetrates all obstacles and strikes at their vital point.”

    “Requires at least 30 Strength, 30 Agility, and 30 Spirit to cast. The higher the basic attributes, the longer the range.”

    “—Wipe out all stragglers.”

    Spirit wasn’t enough.

    But Shen Ye directly used his free attribute points to add 10 points, instantly meeting the requirements.

    In an instant.

    The second professional skill was fully comprehended.

    Done!

    Shen Ye felt a surge of power erupt within his body.

    He had a sudden inspiration and directly unleashed his Dharma Idol.

    Within the majestic Guanghan Palace, cold mist permeated, and a new moon hung high above the city gate, emitting a faint light.

    The moon shone, white as frost.

    Shen Ye subconsciously reached out, catching a wisp of moonlight.

    Unexpectedly, more moonlight gathered from the sky, condensing into a ball in his hand, transforming into burning white frosty flame.

    Immediately, small characters appeared:

    “Frostfire has been born within your Dharma Idol.”

    “Congratulations.”

    “You have advanced to the second realm of the Dharma Realm.”

    “All attribute points increased by 10.”

    “Strength: 40;”

    “Agility: 40;”

    “Spirit: 30;”

    “Insight: 40;”

    “Resonance: 200; (Moonlight lineage resonance +20);”

    “Available attribute points: 24.1”

    “Please use Guanghan weapons to fight, thereby devouring the enemy’s Dharma Idol origin and imbuing it onto the bright moon.”

    “When the bright moon transforms from a new moon to a full moon, it signifies the initial completion of your Dharma Idol, allowing you to advance to the third realm of the Dharma Idol.”

    “At that time, your Sect Master exclusive eye technique: Godslayer’s Guidance, will complete an advancement.”

    He had reached the second realm of the Dharma Realm!

    Coupled with the “Bloody warrior” trait he had previously acquired, the increase in attribute points was truly a huge leap!

    And more importantly—

    He had already opened his Dharma Eye.

    Now, he only needed to continuously upgrade his Dharma Icon to reach the third realm of the Dharma Icon!

    What good news.

    —Now, it was time for him to leave.

    How should he bring it up?

    He needed to find an excuse.

    Suddenly, the ground shook.

    The giant egg cracked open.

    The three-meter-tall black woman suddenly rushed in, her voice low:

    “Be careful.”

    “What’s wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The power of the seal is leaking!”

    Is it that fate seal?

    “How did it leak?” Shen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

    “When Master ate that World Will, he gained considerable power, so he moved again, which caused the sealing power to leak,” the black woman said with a solemn expression.

    “What’s the principle behind this? Why does it leak when he moves?” Shen Ye asked curiously.

    A moment of silence.

    Shen Ye heard himself speak in a cold, stiff voice:

    “I am delving deep into the Seal of Fate, locked in a stalemate with it.”

    “Just now, the power I released broke through a part of it, but who knew it would generate an even stronger sealing power.”

    “Be careful.”

    “It’s coming—”

    At the same time.

    Not just Shen Ye.

    The entire tomb.

    Xu Xingke, the Sword Maiden, Cang Nanyan, and Song Yinchen, who had just entered the tomb.

    Xiao Mengyu, Nangong Sirui, and others who were struggling to climb up through the underground passages.

    And Magahu, the strongest in the Five Desires World.

    Everyone immediately felt it.

    “What… no, it can’t be, how could such a thing happen…”

    Cang Nanyan had seen many storms, but at this moment, she was somewhat lost in thought.

    All around.

    The scene of the entire tomb was changing.

    Endless white bones formed the rock walls.

    In countless dense rock caves, corpses groaned in agony, crawling out of their coffins.

    They were being resurrected.

    It was as if in the next second, they would appear from another time and space!

    “How magnificent are the rules of time and space? Why would the Dharma Realm allow such strange changes here?” the Sword Maiden asked in a deep voice.

    Xu Xingke looked up.

    The exit passage above had vanished.

    There was no way out.

    “The Dharma Realm is the source of all power and rules… it must be because some power here is too strong to do this…”

    Xu Xingke murmured.

    “Teacher, look!” Song Yinchen pointed in a direction.

    Everyone looked towards a certain direction.

    In the void.

    A long procession of people was solidifying.

    They wore blood-stained armor, their faces blurred and indistinct, holding high banners, descending from the sky and heading towards the depths of the tomb.

    After this procession passed.

    Two giant dragons appeared in the void, circling and also heading towards the depths of the tomb.

    Immediately after.

    Giants wielding heavy hammers lined up and marched with heavy steps towards the depths of the tomb.

    All sorts of terrifying and strange monsters continuously appeared in the void.

    Their forms flickered between illusory and solid, all heading towards the depths of the tomb.

    The students of Xirang High also witnessed this scene.

    Everyone had no idea what was happening.

    Although Shen Ye knew, he was helpless.

    —The cosmic worms were in a stalemate with it, what could he do?

    Suddenly.

    His phone rang.

    —It was an alarm.

    Shen Ye’s heart stirred, and he exclaimed, “I understand!”

    “What?” the black woman immediately asked.

    Shen Ye stretched a little, changed into clean clothes, and drank a can of soda.

    “It’s 11:59 now.”

    Shen Ye said.

    “…” the black woman.

    Actually, the door can be opened soon—

    Whether it’s the door connecting the two realms, or that inverted unknown door.

    “Listen up!”

    Shen Ye suddenly spoke, his tone stiff and cold: “The seal has opened, to envelop all of you.”

    “The seal will measure your strength. If you fail its test here, it will kill you immediately!”

    “Your soul will be transformed into the purest energy, to be absorbed by it!”

    “Don’t even think about fighting it; it’s a unique spirit that is unaffected by anything!”

    —This was the voice of the Imperial Species.

    “Okay, I understand,” Shen Ye nodded.

    “Don’t die too soon, that won’t help me at all. Give your best to hold on, and it’s best to stay alive,” he said again.

    In an instant.

    Everything around them vanished.

    Shen Ye found himself standing before an endless dark rock wall.

    On that rock wall was climbing a monster hundreds of meters long.

    No…

    Shen Ye looked closely and immediately realized it was a woman shrouded in darkness.

    Strange.

    She looked exactly like that three-meter-tall black woman!

    But there were differences—

    Shen Ye saw a line of small text appear above her head:

    “The Seal of Fate of the Lord of All Beings, a special spirit.”

    This massive woman had a long serpent tail, and her entire being exuded an aura of majesty that compelled worship.

    So that was it.

    She was the true spirit!

    The one in the hive must have been a product mimicked by the Imperial Species after observing this seal.

    The two were incomparable!

    The woman looked down at Shen Ye and said,

    “Your most important companion… will be killed…”

    Before she finished speaking.

    Big Skeleton suddenly leaped out of Shen Ye’s ring, caught by a force and lifted into the air.

    “Damn it!”

    It roared in anger, but an invisible force held it tightly.

    “Choose the way it dies,” the woman said.

    She opened a pair of eyes that glowed with a faint white mist, staring at Shen Ye:

    wωω▪ ttκan▪ ¢Ο

    “You have ten seconds to decide. If you exceed this time, you will die.”

    Shen Ye looked at Big Skeleton, then at the woman.

    What exactly was this test?

    Would he really die immediately after ten seconds?

    —While for others, they might feel reluctant to harm their closest comrade.

    Some might even attack this spirit immediately.

    In that case, if they hesitated for more than ten seconds, they would be finished!

    But he didn’t have this concern!

    He knew he couldn’t defeat it, and he knew how to break the deadlock.

    “Cook it, I choose to cook it!”

    Shen Ye almost blurted out.

    “As you wish,” the woman said.

    A large pot appeared on the ground.

    Big Skeleton was thrown into the pot, constantly boiling in bubbling water.

    “Damn it, what is this—”

    The lid was placed on the pot.

    Its voice ceased abruptly.

    After a full seven or eight minutes, the woman spoke again:

    “Bury your friend. If you do it well enough, you will pass the initial trial of fate.”

    Was it time to pass?

    Shen Ye walked towards the large pot.

    Next, he just had to open the lid, bury Big Skeleton, and he would pass.

    —It seemed this test was to see if one would be soft-hearted towards a friend.

    Shen Ye lifted the lid.

    Inside the pot were soupy liquids and scattered white bones floating around.

    Scoop them out.

    —First, scoop them out.

    After burying them once, then dig them out, let them drink the bone broth, and they can be resurrected.

    Both Big Skeleton and he were familiar with this.

    Shen Ye was about to scoop out the white bones when his expression suddenly changed.

    “No!”

    He looked up at the hundreds of meters long giant black woman on the rock wall.

    “What’s wrong?”

    The black woman stared at him and asked.

    “Your pot of spare rib soup has no taste at all,” Shen Ye said.

    “No taste… what about it?”

    “This isn’t my brother! My brother smells fragrant when cooked—”

    “So you’re lying!”
